It's been a year since my last post in this blog. I have to admit that it has been a busy year for me but now I have to continue on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to everybody else who would happen to visit this site. I don't remember anymore how many times have I read the book of Genesis but lately, while I was sharing the story of God's creation to my household, it had come across my mind how powerful the word of God could be when He said, "Let there be light": and there was light (Genesis 1:3). The whole of the first chapter of the book of Genesis tells us how God speaks and everything was created just how he had spoken it. It's very amazing, isn't it?
"By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth." - Psalm 33:6 (KJV)
"For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast." - Psalm 33:9 (KJV)
We see nature around us. Do we realize that everything exists because God had just commanded them to exist? Many people would not believe in this but this is the truth. It is a huge topic to discuss God's creation and I would just like to put more emphasis on the fact about the power of God's word because whatever He says and declares shall surely be carried out.
"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" - Numbers 23:19 (KJV)
"I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him." - Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJV)
God is perfect. He can only speak of pure truth. I remember one story in the New Testament when the Lord Jesus Christ rebuked His disciples because of their lack of faith and He stopped the storm by just saying "Peace, be still". Below was what the disciples had testified about Him:
"And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?" - Mark 4:41 (KJV)
Whether you believe it or not, there is one truth that I would like to impart. And that is, God's word is an ultimate declaration of truth that we need to believe. For example, when the word of God declares that "For all have sinned" (Romans 3:23) then it is an absolute truth that all mankind are sinners for it is no different at all when God said "Let there be light" and the light stood fast as God commanded it. Do you perceive light? If yes, then all people in this world are also perceivable as sinners before God. If God said, "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23) then it shall be done that all sinners shall be condemned to eternal damnation. It's scary, isn't it? But, the word of God also declares that if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved from eternal damnation and we shall be given eternal life instead.
"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." - Acts 16:31 (KJV)
"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." - John 5:11-13
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - John 3:16-18
The condemnation of sinners like us is inevitable because God had already declared it in His written word - the Holy Bible. This is the reason why the Lord Jesus Christ need to suffer and die to save us from that condemnation because His blood is the only thing that can cleanse us from all our sins. There are lots of declarations from the word of God about this matter and it would take me longer to write this if I'm gonna share them all with you. So, what are you waiting for? Believe on our Lord Jesus, accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior, and repent from all of your sins; then He will save you surely as God has said "Let there be light:" and there was light.
